Does Vlingo and voice commands constantly pop up when trying to listen to music. It's like every time i plug in my headphones a pop up appears asking me which one i want to use then automatically calls the last person i talked to on my call log. Does anybody kno how to disable both of these so i can listen to music without any interruptions or random calls, cause it's quite annoying.

I had this same problem when I would plug my phone into AUX in my car. It was awful. I couldn't listen to music. It would first start the Google voice search then call the last person I called. My headphone port was also messed up and would only play the beat to songs. I called AT&T and they tried to troubleshoot it but ended up sending me a new one.

Anyone using the razr headset with the phone? everytime i workout with this headset i feel like banging my phone on the blardy wall..
For some strange reason it automatically dials my recent calls. I think its something to do with the microphone..when i pant or take deep breaths the voice command thingy comes on, and sometime suddenly just randomly call people...good god its annoying as hell!
anyone know how to disable it? the only reason i use this headset over my seinheriser is cause its LOUD. when your in the gym you need loud bass to keep the pump!
Have you tried restarting the phone? I've had Voice Commands go crazy on me and not let me use my headset to control my music. A simple restart fixed it.
Have you tried a different headset? Maybe you got some sweat in the mic and it screwed something up. I've had this happen also. Do the Sennheisers you mentioned have a mic with music control?
If you're rooted you can freeze Voice Command using Titanium Backup.
Ill try freezing it and see how it goes. No my Sennheisers do not have a mic, thats why it does not happen when i use them, but the sound produced is softer, which is why i dont use em.
Restarting does not help.
Ran in to the same problem with my brother's phone; the problem is voice commands hijacks the headset button. There is an easy way to disable that, for those who are not rooted or don't want to freeze the app: go to settings, Applications and change the double-tap home launch setting to None. Now headset works as it should and controls PowerAmp, rather than popping up voice commands every time.
I had the same issue with mine. Freezing it with Titanium worked perfectly.
If you have an issue with it stopping your music as if disconnected it, I haven't found a fix for that.
And i always find best sony earphones with isolation and with noise cancelling, you'll enhance max trebles in sound settings, get PowerAmp to enhance on basses and for sake of this gorgeous combination forget about microphone.
Original earphones are always not good enough. Always must buy separately.

Use "rom tool box" and freeze

U can go to settings and changing the double tap home button to something else. Ur probably hitting the home button twice during ur work out.

Has anyone been able to disable voice commands on stock? It's annoying trying to use pandora with headphones that have a button because the voice command prompt keeps popping up. One work around I've found is to use Headset Button Controller app.
You can also use media button router.... its free in the play store... allows you to map bluetooth device buttons to a specific app or apps... necessity with the ICS leaks because android hijacks the play button for voice commands if you use Pandora or a third party app to play music...

Anyone able to create a profile to solve the issue we have with our note. The issue is the following,
If headphones are plugged in and we get an incoming call, the ringtone will play on both speaker and headphones.
If headphones are plugged in and we get a notification, the sound will only play through speaker.
I tried to do a basic script that has headphones plugged in and incoming call for context, then set ringer volume to 0 and play music ringtone.mp3. Add exit task to for the opposite, raise ringer volume, stop music.
The problem is, it worked, if I didn't have music playing already when I get an incoming call, which is the whole reason why I would have headphones plugged in to begin with. The task successfully sets the ringer volume to 0 so at least it didn't play on the speaker, but then nothing would play on the headphones, and the music I was playing would pause (like it's supposed to), but the ringtone I specified didn't play. Ending the call resumes the music I was playing.
Anyone willing to shed some insight on this?
This issue is next on my list. I believe it is an issue with how the phone distinguishes what the sound is. ..phone vs media...hard to explain

Hey all,
I searched around for a while but couldn't find anyone posting about this issue...So I manually upgraded to the .211 release using Matt's Utility 1.7 back when it was released, and I have had next to no problems on stock ICS except for this. One annoying issue that keeps occurring though, is my music starts playing automatically after I hang up from a call using bluetooth. This happens only when I receive a call and my headset is connected to the phone (both handset and A2DP profiles). It streams over the headset thru A2DP and I have to manually pause the music on my phone (or disconnect/reconnect the headset) to stop it. I use a Bose Series 2 headset and didn't have this problem on stock GB beforehand. Music is not playing before I receive the call.
I've found a temporary solution in disabling the A2DP portion of the connection manually in the bluetooth settings under the headset subsection.... but this is annoying because I have to keep turning it back on when I want to stream music or podcasts through the ear piece.
Any ideas as to why this is now happening?

Just the built in "my music" app bloatware from Moto...also Pandora. I did disable a bunch of bloatware when I first started setting up the phone. I'll see if disabling/re-enabling the my music app has any effect... I've never had a problem with Pandora before but I could also try uninstalling that to see if it makes a difference.
Flashing the .215 leak fixed the problem... hallelujah
Hello Fellas!
Recently i started to listen to music/audiobooks before i go to sleep,
the problem is that in android 4.2/4.1 even with clock apps that tries to force audio through speaker (at least on my phone) only plays the audio through the headphones which has fallen of during night.
So i though i should make an post instructing how i got the alarm to play through the speaker even with the headphones connected.
the answer is Soundabout combined with Tasker (you could probably use other automation tools as well)
1. download soundabout free from market.
2. set Media Audio to speaker.
3. force close soundabout.
4. Download Tasker (which is a paid app but is well worth the money) (or other automation tool)
4a. go to settings and untick beginner mode.
5. Download and place "userbackup.xml" in the "tasker" folder in the root of your sdcard
userbackup.xmll
6. Open tasker, press the menu button --> data --> restore.
This hack will open soundabout at 6am if the headphones are plugged in, if you are rooted it will also force kill soundabout when you unplug.
NOTE: if you have any profiles allready you should make a backup and add my profile at the bottom of your "userbackup.xml."
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Thanks
No problem, the only problem is that you have to force close the app every single day though,
i emailed the developer of soundabout about this and he said he would try to make a tasker plugin to make this easier!
Hey guys.
Any update on this?
Thanks
Alan
I dont get it... Soundabout runs a service, so it should be able to force audio through speakers without the need to fc it and start it via Tasker
But the fact is that it does not work on my phone. I have a headset plugged at all times and I just miss all calls
It is said that music apps can prevent soundabout from routing audio through speakers.. i am still testing, will post if I come to a conclusion on what music app does not bring this issue
I ****ing hate those ****tards at google who thought they should change that... since the beginning of time, call and sms alerts always went to speaker regardless the headset is plugged

I guess you dont have to fc, but i atleast had to force everything to the speaker. So the easiest way to get the sound back to my earplugs was to force close it.
The updated version does it automaticly so im good for now
Will pay $ for tasker script.
Hi to all of You.
I would like to have profile that force incoming call ringing and notifications to speaker when wired headphones with mic is plugged but not media sounds like YouTube or games, media sounds should be played only by wired headphones with mic.
I am willing to pay some reasonable amount of $ for person, who will write such tasker script for me.

Audio through external speaker with headphones plugged in - Tasker
Any better solution found for this yet? I would like to get tasker to still play audio through the external speaker when the headphone jack is plugged in. I would prefer not to use another app for this, just a tasker profile.
I just received a pressy like headphone button but it mutes the external audio since the phone thinks headphones are plugged in. The apps available for the Klick buttom don't seem too trust worthy or functional. I still want to use it to keep the dust out of the jack but not miss all the audio calls and notifications. A simple tasker profile to accomplish this would be great.
Any ideas?

also with Xprivacy you can change and give permission to prevent soundabout from changing speaker after, or there are many other permissions it's asking for.
Couldn't dig deeper, but may give an idea to someone.
I had a similar issue, except in my case I use a wired handset with my phone and I wanted notifactions to sound through the phone speaker rather than through the handset. My solution was to use the Automate app with the configuration attached. Plugging the handset mutes the notification, then on SMS received it plays a sound, with the output stream set as "ring" so it sounds through the phone speaker.
As far as I'm aware, it's not possible to play audio through two streams simultaneously- don't cross the streams...
I'm using a Sony Z3 with LineageOS, but I guess this should work with any android compatible with the current version of Automate.
I think this may be a Samsung generic problem, but does anyone know if there is a way to stop notifications interrupting music playback without having to mute the phone? Really annoying having to do this every time.

I have exactly the same problem - it was not an issue when I was on the HTC One (M7). The S6 is a lovely phone, but I really want control over this.
The fix I have at the moment is the "Don't Pause" app, which detects when you are listening to music and puts the phone on vibrate, but what I really want is a subtle audio notification which does not pause the music or interrupt my podcast.

Thanks for the tip. Yeh, I'm coming from an M8 and it used to just play the notification over the top of the music which was fine as you usually couldn't even hear it anyway. I'll check out that app.
Thanks!
Seems to me like a software feature. Using the stock music player, notifications would pause the playback of music and then resume after. I didn't like this behavior either. I started using Poweramp. It has a "Short Audio Focus Change" option that I turn off. Now my notifications play over top of music.

I also come from HTC and this issue is driving me nuts. Even when notifications are muted my device is pausing when I use Google Messenger to SEND a text message. I've no idea why sending a message would cause my music player (Spotify) to pause briefly.
The same when I use my watch's "ok Google" feature - the music on my phone stops playing... that makes no sense to me. Why would the "ok google" feature of the watch pause the music on my phone while listening?
This also happens on Google Play Music. Really annoying.

If you use Lightflow, you may be able to do this by setting up your app notifications in Lightflow and then selecting "Audio Focus Ignored" in the Labs tab in Lightflow and it may fix it.
I know it worked on my Nexus 5 but I'm unsure whether it will work on the S6. It's worth a try if you're already using Lightflow for LED control.
More people are joining...and the plot thickens:silly:

Disable the outgoing sound in the settings of Google messenger to get rid of that issue.. But as for the rest, I've learned to live with it.

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge
This is the most annoying thing ever about the Samsung S6. I just got it recently having switched from a One Plus One. Now I remember why I left Samsung before. This has been a recurring issue since the S1. On top of that, the audio notifications seem to be delayed and come after the vibration i.e. phone vibrates then and then the sound comes when a notification occurs.
Has anyone also experienced when headphones are plugged in with music playing and a notification occurs, the headphones cut off and music plays from the speakers?? This is especially frustrating when I'm on the bus or a quiet place.
Samsung really needs to fix this annoying issue.
hello everyone, i also was going through this annoying problem but for me i found the best solution on my galaxy s6, when im listening to my music . I went to settings clicked "sounds and notifications" then clicked "do not disturb" and turned it on . then scroll down on exeptions and u can turn off alarm , calls, messages . The cool thing is the notifications go throw u can see your notification light blinking and with no interruptions and once you stop listening to your music turn off "do not disturb" and everything back to normal. To me its the easy way on my galaxy s6 with out downloading extra apps and it works great ...
Hope it helped you guys out and can enjoy your music without any interruptions
Just to say "me too!". Sooooo annoying when listening to music or audio books. Can we some how let Samsung know about this?

I use Tasker to put my phone into "do not disturb" mode when my headphones are plugged in. I had it set up to go silent when I had my music app open before and found the headphone thing to be more effective. I haven't tried to just make it quieter, but it's probably possible.
Something to mess around with. Plus, Tasker does a ton of other cool stuff. Totally worth the $3 for the level of automation they offer.

Thank you that's been annoying the hell out of me but have changed settings now thank you! ?
This issue is still not resolved I take it? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn that crap off on my A3. I'm using Google Music.
When I listen to music the only thing that should interrupt is high priority communication. Basicly just phone calls and emergency/gouvernmental alerts. Evertything else is low-priority communications and won't ever take precedence over my music but I don't want to turn the notifications off completely.
The guy who figures having random whatsapp messages disturb your music experience obviously doesn't use his phone for listening to music while participating in several Whatsapp groups.
Hii everyone
I was facing same issue in Mi Max MIUI 8 running android MM.
I started using music folder player 2.1.4
preferences->behavior->handle audio focus->choose ignore audio focus.
Music didnt pause by incoming msgs (text,whatsapp, mails, etc).
Thanks.
Please share ur experience.

For anyone interested, in Poweramp, go to Settings > Audio > Audio Focus and uncheck "Short Audio Focus Change"
Uconnect/ Bluetooth devices
I FOUND A FIX.
For me, using the Uconnect setup incoming sms message announcement did NOT work. It works ONLY for when you are listening to the radio. I like to use my music apps on my phone like Apple Music and like other people, Samsung Milk Music or others and when listening to this I would still get the extremely frustrating "New SMS message from (insert name) press uconnect phone button to..." blah blah and whenever I hit cancel to escape that long interrupt it would take 10 seconds to get back to my music and sometimes it would pause my music and while driving you cant simply go back in and play it. I figited with EVERYTHING. I tried the uconnect manual, I tried to disable notifications for both my message+ app I use and Apple Music and neither worked but the answer was much more simple than I thought. Here it is: go to your settings that has all the options like wifi, airplane mode etc... tap your bluetooth option and it should pull up not only the uconnect you have paired but all the otger bluetooth things you have paired. Next to it is a gear icon. Tap on that and it will appear all the thing uconnect has access to like media audio (music, videos) call audio, contact access and MESSAGE ACCESS. TURN THAT OFF. THIS WILL STOP INTERRUPTIONS DURING YOUR MUSIC APPS AND SUCH.
I have not used this with other bluetooth devices but it worked for my car and I hope it works for you too.
